The FDA is set to crack down on a number of clinics across the United States that offer expensive stem cell therapies to treat various diseases, as they claim. Diseases and conditions, which stem cell therapies are said to cure, range from erectile dysfunction to autism. However, there is no scientific proof that they actually do cure those diseases. Over 200 stem cell clinics have appeared in the U.S. over the last few year, but they didn’t go through heavy regulations for the reason that those clinics extract from a person’s own body and nothing is really done before reinjecting the cells. Just recently, the FDA released guidelines in which it states that the stem cells used in most clinics are drugs and that’s why approvals need to be issued before the use on patients. There are two types of stem cells used by such clinics: derived from embryos and adult stem cells. Both of the cells are said to be capable of curing various diseases thanks to their regenerative properties. It must b...

You can often hear that certain foods have magically healing properties. But that’s not always true. According to scientists, there are some foods that don’t really have all the benefits ascribed to them. In the list of foods that have been overblown by numerous Internet articles are: orange juice, tomatoes, green coffee, oysters and pineapples. Benefits of Some Foods is Overestimated – Scientists Orange juice is not as healthy as many would believe due to its content of sugars, which is absorbed by the body almost immediately. Sugar raises glucose levels in the blood, promoting an uncontrollable spike in insulin, which in turn exhausts the pancreas and increases the risk of developing diabetes. Tomatoes have also disappointed scientists because not all tomatoes contain the so-healthy element lycopene, which effectively fights cancer and helps maintain the youth. However, it has been found that chemicals used in tomatoes production decrease the levels of this healthy element by about ...

Nowadays, it’s popular to advertise a healthy lifestyle. But not all of the rules of a healthy lifestyle give results, because some of them are wrong. Here are 3 myths about healthy lifestyle you need to know about! Drinking freshly-squeezed juices is healthy This misconception is widespread quite broadly. People believe that fresh juices is a true source of health and drink it for breakfast as well as use it as snacks. In reality, that’s not true. Juice is a concentrated substance and it contains many fruit acids, which make the stomach feel upset. For example, if you’re drinking apple juice, there will be about 3-4 big apples in the glass. It’s unlikely that you’d eat them not in the form of juice. Besides, juice is deprived of fiber, which is contained in whole fruits. So eat fruits instead of drinking freshly-squeezed juices. Eating egg yolks is unhealthy It is believed that cholesterol contained in egg yolks can raise the levels of cholesterol in the blood. Today, scientists have ...

No internship without reference. Students of media are forced to stray for much needed internship during summers. Students stay as uninvited and unattended guests for not having mighty references for a smooth entry. For post graduate students of International Islamic University, even dropping their C.Vs in few of the channels proves a nightmare. No reference, no entry, was the loud reply. It’s a pitiable situation indeed! While universities have made it a compulsion for every candidate to receive a month’s internship certificate but the gates of all media centers have literally closed their doors for internees unless you carry an influential reference behind your back. The average and above-average students, having references, float successfully through the offices of media channels & submit the experience certificate to the professors and are accorded with A++ in no time. It is dilemma that the permission letter of the university is there to show but whom to show? High hearted...

During the decisive moments of the struggle of independence for all the Muslim community of the subcontinent from the hands of ruling elite of Britain and the overwhelming Hindus majority, founder Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah very rightly pointed “I have no illusions in the matter and let me say again that India is not a country nor a nation. It is a subcontinent made out of nationalities with Hindus and Muslims being the significant countries”. Upon freedom from the British, the great pioneer set his objectives by saying, “I shall be guided by the standards of equity and reasonable play, with no preference or hostility, at the end of the day a nation free of prejudice or partiality. My leading guideline will be equity and complete absence of prejudice and I am certain that with your backing and collaboration, I can anticipate Pakistan getting to be one of the best Nations of the World”. Pakistan became the first ideological Muslim state of the world created through high thought pr...

Yesterday, on Saturday, July 30th 2016, I got an opportunity to become part of a thought-provoking conference in Hyderabad, the second largest city in Sindh.  The conference was titled as Interfaith Youth Dialogue and Festival, arranged by a young social activist and past Pak-US exchange alumni, Dr. Rajesh Kumar. The session was led by some of the prominent personalities in the Sindh covering intellectuals, mystic poets, human right activists and academia. The conference put lights on many important issues of religious intolerance and religious supremacy prevailing in the Sindh and Pakistan, in general. During the conference, by listening to the panelists and with my own thought pattern, I summarized some of my thoughts on the issues and what I think we can do to curb them. Here is a conflict now. If you pick a currency coin or any bill in Pakistan, it says the name of our country as “Islamic Republic of Pakistan”. This causes an inherent flaw in our so called democratic form of th...

Despite being half the population, women are still underrepresented in politics. They lag substantially behind men when it comes to their representation in leadership positions throughout the world. However, the situation has improved to some extent in the recent past. Last month, Theresa May became the leader of the Conservative Party of the United Kingdom and the country’s second female prime minister in history; both elected during the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, the longest serving monarch in modern history. At the same time in the United States of America, Hillary Clinton is leading over Donald Trump in national polls, according to different surveys. While Germany is currently led by a strong female leader, Angela Merkel, since 2005. Women are serving as Presidents or Prime Ministers in several others developed and developing countries like Croatia, Chile, Malta, Mauritius, Nepal, Taiwan, Austria (where Doris Bures is acting Co-president), Bangladesh, the Bahamas, Grenada, Namibi...

After reading the title you might be wondering, what could be the rationale behind placing Tharparkar at Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. You will be stuck the same way as I got while reading article written by G.M Arif, Joint director at Pakistan Institute of Development Economics, titled “Poverty Profile of Pakistan”. Shockingly, Mr. Arif ranked Lakki Marwat below Tharparker in poverty ranking. His analysis placed Lakki Marwat in the category of EXTREMELY POOR District. My reason for worry is not the poverty ranking of Lakki Marwat but the consistant reluctance of government, donor agencies and NGO’s for acknowledging what the top notch academic institute on Economic development has concluded. Lakki Marwat is never acknowledged as deprived district. My question is whether the government and other stakeholders are waiting for the time when deprivation will be converted into hostility? After reading the article, I started thinking like an economist and looked for ways out to steer the area out of t...
